mysql_connect issues...

[tandrews]

I'm setting up Cacti on a Windows 2003 server (and IIS). All components have been installed according to the windows install instructions, but I am getting an error when I connect to the server with a browser at http://10.2.0.4/cacti ...

I get the following:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 339

The config.php file contains the following:

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cactiuser";
$database_password = "cacti";

What did I miss?

Thanks

Search the forums, the answer is in here.

It is due to the fact that you are using mysql version 4.x something and that it's not configured to accept old passwords.
